Split GetNextWorkRequired() into two functions to allow the difficulty calculations to be tested without requiring a full blockchain. Add unit tests to cover basic difficulty calculation, plus each of the min/max actual time, and maximum difficulty target conditions.

All test cases have been additionally validated against an independent implementation in Python.
